Told I may be asked to go home and provide proof of my anxiety condition to wearing masks
Vanity | 11/24/2020 | Vendome

Posted on 11/24/2020 10:21:48 AM PST by Vendome

Wast just informed by my boss I will be asked to go home if I don't wear a mask while on premise.

Informed him of my anxiety condition and he said get a doctors note.

Informed him the are I work in is 900 Square feet and I am generally the only person in that office and "the rules" say I am exempt from a mask under those conditions.

"Go tell your king newsom but, that is the way it is" he replied.

"If you have to wear a mask at the grocery store, you can wear one at work" was another answer.

Mthfkr! When I go to a grocery store I am in and out. I don't shop for a full weeks groceries anymore because I cannot have that damn thing on for very long without getting highly anxious.

Regardless, you are imposing a draconian measure where there, even if this whole thing is a fraud, clear rules such as:

If you are interacting with another person and within six (6) feet of each other.

If you cannot maintain a distance of more than six (6) feet you are required to wear a mask.

and On and On

1. I do not work near anyone at all. Colleagues are in another room. My desk is 25-30 feet away from my office door.

2. I do not have to interact with them to even do my job.

3. I can totally do my job out of the office. One wonders why they handed me a laptop and a cell phone.

I completed an order just the other day without coming to the office.

That sounds like a violation of HIPAA.

IANAL

Tell him that because a surgical mask is medical waste, that he needs to supply you with a new mask everytime you get up and return to your desk and that you want a certified medical waste bin next to your desk and that he needs to have a medical waste company pick it up at least once a week.

Wearing the same mask all day is dangerous. If it picks up some virons they stay there all day and eventually you will breathe them in.

Tell him that if he doesn’t comply with your demands that you will make a call to Osha.

You are required to wear a mask. “wearing” is a relative term. How you wear the mask is up to you. Mine goes under my nose when no one is around in the store. I’m only wearing it to make people feel better.

If he mostly works alone, how will he prove that he’s having a Panic Attack? Will he need to make a video of it as “proof”? Yes, I’m being a wee bit sarcastic.
I will bet you it’s been tried, though.

Maybe he could spend about 10 minutes just ‘going crazy’ in the office. Take a cue from some old movie with Jack Lemon or Jim Carey. Bring a Boom-Box, play Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. Volume set at 11. That should get him a paid vacation at least.

No it’s not why we are losing; we are losing because the people we fight to elect turn pussy once they get into offfice and collaborate with the dem enemy faster than you can say Vichy France.

If you are employed by someone - on HIS property, HIS business, etc,. - you are bound his rules. He is under pressure from the losers we elect to comply or shut down, and any infraction will be used to accomplish that.

Get a doctors note, and play the game until YOU can make the rules.

I hate wearing the stupid PoS thing too; but there are hills to fight for and others that aren’t. Or find another job. It’s pretty simple.

Meanwhile when the people we elect go spineless, work to
Remove them.

You can always count on me to say whatever pops into my head first

It’s called “no filter syndrome” :)

And its negatives definitely outweigh its pluses

Enjoy the trip :)

Getting the note is the easiest solution, but I’m not sure if it’s allowed.
He isn’t missing any work. What’s next?

Tin foil, but this is what they want, us fighting.
Out of chaos, comes order.

And as a bonus, you can use it to make unauthorized withdrawals at the bank.

That same day I strolled through the lobby of a bank to get to their ATM. Very strange feeling walking past tellers while masked like a highwayman. A year ago they would have been pressing alarm buttons.

You may not want to reveal to your employer that you have an anxiety disorder. While they cannot fire you for having an anxiety disorder, but they can find other reasons.

I just order some face shields. I don’t care if I look like a dork (not possible). The cuck muzzle had to go.

FIRST “OPEN CARRY” then a Camo T-shirt w a Texas Flag upper left (over your Heart) a Stetson hat, Wrangler jeans and Tony Lamas boots.

They either leave you alone or you run for Sheriff and win.

JMHO

Also, don’t be mad at your employer. It’s not their fault. I know it sucks. People are suing employers for wrongful death if their family member contract disease at work and they will probably win in court.

Yep, just like there’s “no stigma” to seeking addiction help.

He doesn’t need to physically be there, so why make him report?
